Description Laura Pardo 2018-09-27 21:42:49 UTC 
A flaw was found in in the HDF HDF5 1.10.3 library. A SIGFPE signal is raised in the function H5D__chunk_set_info_real() of H5Dchunk.c during an attempted parse of a crafted HDF file, because of incorrect protection against division by zero. This issue is different from CVE-2018-11207.
